Riley:
No one could of been more disappointed than me, I even had an appointment with one to do the restylane, the other dr's I was at for different reasons but asked anyway. This thing looks alot like thermage, do you know the difference? |

I had Restylane injected into the lines around my mouth and also along the lip line. After the swelling went down my lips looked great, really nice shape to them and the lines were almost gone. Two weeks later the lines were back, not sure now if they were ever really away as I went on vacation and didnt spend much time peering at myself in the mirror - also the mirrors in Hotels have bad lighting so maybe I just couldnt see them.. Anyway I think if you want a nicer shape to your lips or them to be a bit bigger then go for Restylane but for filling in lines a total waste of money. It was also suggested I put a bit botox in them but I declined that offer! Didnt really fancy the thought of drooling down my chin  I am going to look into Dermabrasion next as it has been suggested this is the best way to go for me.... |

| dermabrasion, does that require a lot of down time? Well, this is just bad news about Restylane. I am going for a consult, so will see what they suggest. Maybe unless you do something drastic, it is just a lost cause and all one can hope for is to make them less noticeable? Thanks for the heads up on Restylane everyone! |

| I had the resty injections on the 2 lines (marionette lines) from the mouth corner and it did help take off years. I also started using TNS Recovery Complex on the lines (my doc recommended it) and my IS Clinical line for minor retinol and they have all but disappeared (very faint if I am obsessing on them). Once you retrain the muscle then you work on the line softening. For your question, I called the office and they said it can be common to do resty and botox on the vertical lip lines, it's just according to your derm/med spa in your area. My Doc had also recommeded that I have a tad bit of botox on the lower mouth muscles (I do not drool that I know of) to relax the muscle there. That works so well and I only do that once a year. How long the resty lasts is according to how well your body absorbs or rejects it as it is naturally absorbed back into the body after a period of time. I know how they must bother you, I am always so much more aware of lines on myself that most people don't notice. |

Thanks AnnieR. Ok, here is my stupid question of the morning (as I am sure I will have more as the day goes on). What are marionette lines?  |

Hi Annie....lucky you, when I'd call my dr's they'd say oh yes we do retalayne and botox on vertical lip lines but once there they'd say well we do this to disguise that...yikes...  Maybe a drive to Austin to visit my neice is in order 
oh and not to answer the question to Annie, but marionette lines are the lines from side of nose to mouth (smile lines) and yes there vertical and yes they do inject right into those. |

| I use Aesthetica Med Spa and have used APSI Skincare clinic. Both are good. Dr. Sneed at the med spa is a platinum injector which means he does huge amounts and has the experience. Thanks for answ. the question cause it took me way too long to get back here (sometimes I lose days)! |

| Thanks MelissaMarie. I don't think I have the marionette lines (thankfully, as I seem to have way to many to begin with!) Well hearing AnnieR gives me a little hope. We will see what they say when I get there! |

I know this wasn't addressed to me but unfortunately this product was not the miracle I had hoped for. I do believe it helps, but you really have to apply it twice a day and with the amount that's in there it would get a bit expensive. Besides I think it just masks the problem more than "correcting" it, but perhaps if I had used it for more than a month straight I would have found more permanent results. It also didn't do anything for the tiny lines that actually extend from my lip to just above the line which is a pain because these are the most obvious due to lipgloss bleeding. Oh well, one day I'll be able to afford the Portrait Plasma treatment and hope that will help me. |

Hey Tam,
sorry to report I've gotten lazy with this product and tend to use it hit and miss, after a month or so of daily use, I think its more of a masking type product then permanent, hince my hit and miss use now, now that being said I do think it is one of the best masking products I've EVER used, the lines disappear when i do whip it out and apply it. I do have a sample of the serum but actually forgot about it, I just pulled it out and will try it, I ended up thinking it would be temporary like the lip. Also with the lip product when one uses it 2x's a day you think its permanent, its only when u stop doing that, that u see its really temporary, in my opinion. But i will def keep using till I find something thats permanent...sorry so long winded.

| I agree with you guys the EL is not a miracle product and it masks the lines only. That said, I got Restylane injections in my vertical lip lines and while they are still slightly visible, the EL helps make them disappear for the entire time I am wearing it! I think there are less expensive products that would do the same thing! |

| Hey Candy I agree I would not be without this and I am still on my first tube, although seems like a little amount of product mines lasting forever, as far as cheaper products doing the same let me know when one finds that, I've tried tons and nothing has made them at least vanish from sight like this one. And who knows had I not gotten sick and stopped using it twice a day, then I might be saying it works permanent..but at least so far thats not the case. |

Did you ever do this and did it help? I saw that you later wrote that you had Resty injections, but I wasn't sure if you did that a while ago or recently. TIA! |
